Description And Comments

A clock tower, adorned with boy and girl figures, rises above the platz (plaza) marking the Germany Pavilion. Dominated by a fountain depicting St. George's victory over the dragon, the platz is encircled by buildings done in the style of traditional German architecture. The main attraction is the Biergarten, a buffet restaurant that serves German food and beer (Advance reservations are required). Yodeling, folk dancing, and oompah-band music are part of the mealtime festivities.

Be sure to check out the large and elaborate model railroad located just beyond the restrooms as you walk from Germany toward Italy.

One of the more intriguing games guests play is "Drinking 'round the World." This involves walking around World Showcase and downing a beer in every country. The theme park's German pavilion - with its oversized steins of authentic Teutonic ale - has proved to be the undoing of many. Some stop off for a final beer in the Biergarten en route to the Betty Ford Center.
